All four of these books, published by Cinco Puntos Press, are representations of Latino culture and the Spanish language. Cecilia's Year is labeled a young adult novel (probably for around middle school readers), while The Green Bird and The Weeping Woman are picture books. Watch Out for Clever Women! is for readers somewhere in between, being picture-book size, but featuring primarily text with a few pencil drawings.
